outstanding work. when i saw the thread title i was thinking another rally car thrown together, but i was pleasently surprised. your going all out in fairness,
and the work looks top notch. looking forward to update

i decided to stop avoiding it and as luck would have it the ally welder was set up in my welding bay... so...

mounting bosses set up in base:

tig`d up and mid clean...

BOOooo-yaarRR:

still needs either a breathable cap like them mocal ones or some sort of vent and a -10 fitting for the rocker breather...

looks rather huge now its all put together so may cut the sucker down on the bandsaw and shink it down a bit...

inlet manifold i started ****ING ages ago???

well it now looks like this:

motorsport kitteh checked the tracts and declared they need some flappy wheel action but where otherwise OK.

as luck would have it the inlet fitted.....

my fears were correct!! the catchtank was too big but it was easily solved.....

1 oversized tank + 1 circular saw + 1 dangerous bastard =........

and by golly the bitch now fits!!

also there has been some vicious rumours (not from this site) that the welds were only smoothed off because they were a bit ropey... now.. i wont lie.. i`m not th egreatest ally welder BUT in this instance i just felt a smooth look would be better...

so..

in a big F**K YOU polaroid moment i took a pic of the beads on the new cut down revision..
